|December 17, 2025
PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA Modi on Tuesday sought to double India-Jordan bilateral trade to $5 billion over the next five years, as he invited Jordanian companies to take advantage of the country's high economic growth and reap handsome returns.
Modi arrived in Jordan's capital, Amman, on Monday for a two-day visit at the invitation of King Abdullah II.
Jordan is the first leg of the Prime Minister's four-day, three-nation tour, which will also take him to Ethiopia and Oman.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Modi and King Abdullah II addressed the India-Jordan Business Forum here. It was also attended by Crown Prince Hussein and Jordan's minister of trade and industry and minister of investment.
The two leaders acknowledged the importance of increasing business to business ties between the two countries, and called upon the industry captains from both sides to convert the potential and opportunities into growth and prosperity.
